Ryan supports Janesville... what about Racine?

A friend of RacinePost sent over an interesting spreadsheet that tracked where Department of Defense dollars were spent throughout Wisconsin. The data was from 2003, so it's a bit old, but they showed an interesting trend:
Racine County - $17,621,433
Kenosha County - $19,123,573
Walworth County - $1,044,937
Rock County - $83,661,429
The numbers four years ago showed federal dollars rolled into Rock County, which includes Ryan's hometown of Janesville, at more than double the rate as the other three county's in his district (which also includes a portion of Milwaukee County).

Hard to say if Ryan has anything to do with this discrepency, and maybe it's as simple the GM plant in Janesville getting a lot of federal work. But it sure seems like there's room for our Congressman to help out the local economy with some government contracts.
